Data Science with MS in Applied Mathematics 4+1

Follow Ramapo

The recommended four-year plan is designed to provide a blueprint for students to complete their degrees within four years. Students must meet with their Major Advisor to develop a more individualized plan to complete their degree.Ìý This plan assumes that no developmental courses are required.Ìý If developmental courses are needed, students may have additional requirements to fulfill which are not listed in the plan and may extend degree completion.

NOTE: This recommended Four-Year Plan is applicable to students admitted into the major during the 2022-2023 academic year.

WI: Writing Intensive-3 required in the major

* As part of their degree requirements, Data Science majors are also required to complete a minor or double major to gain domain knowledge in a particular field, to better contextualize their data studies. Most minor programs require 5-6 courses. Any minor or second major can be selected: /majors-minors/a-z/Ìý

** DATA elective courses may require pre-requisites outside the program requirements.Ìý For example, Math 305 Differential Equations, Math 245 Numerical Analysis, and Math 253 Probability each have Math 122 Calculus II as a pre-requisite.Ìý Additionally, Math 253 Probability also allows the option for Math 122 Calculus II to be taken as a co-requisite.

***Three additional credits are required in the 3rd year because graduate courses are only 3 credits, instead of the usual 4 credits for undergraduate courses.Ìý Thus, a student must take an additional 3 credits to meet the 128-credit undergraduate graduation requirement.ÌýÌý

Total Graduate Credits Required: 30 credits****

GPA Required for MSAM: 3.0

****The 9 credits of graduate coursework taken in the fourth-year will double count towards both the undergraduate degree requirement of 128 credits as well as the required 30 graduate credits.ÌýÌý
